Hello guys, I live in hot weather and was wondering what kind of coolant / distilled water mixture I need.

50/50 seems to be the common and porsche recommended mixture but I am also reading that 70/30 water/coolant

is okay for hot weather. I drained my 2000 c2 because my water pump impeller tore into tiny pieces. I did a lot of flushing to clean it out and hopefully every piece was flushed.

Go 50/50, and only use distilled water. The ratio is not just for freeze protection, but corrosion protection as well.

I live in Arizona so my mix is 70% water 30% Collant and I added Water Wetter in there also. It really helps lower the collant temp on the gauge with more water than coolant.

Dont forget to burp it, over and over the next few days
